44. SaptaTandavam

February 2014 – Maha Shiva Ratiri (27 Feb) & TeenLove2Dance (9 March)

Shiva Tandavam is a common and popular advanced level dance in Bharatanatyam.  However, all the Tandavams reflect only Ananda (joy) and a few that show Rudra (anger)

With research and study we put together all seven Tandavams:

1. Ananda Tandavam  JOY
2. Sandhya Srishti (Bramma) – CREATION
3. Stiti – Gauri (Vishnu) Protection
4. Anugraha – Uma – Urdhuva (Ardhanaari) COMPASSIONATE
5. Tripura – Trubhava – Vijaya – Illusion VICTORY
6. Roudra- Kaali – ANGER
7. Samahara – DESTRUCTION
